I was throwing the kit ball around today and I can throw it well in excess of 12m/s. It made some really cool smacking sounds on the wall, but with the limit of the initial 12m/s, I don't see anyone getting hurt.
These things are dodge balls, and they are limiting them to much less than an average high school student can throw. If you remember dodge ball, it was only the ones that were really zinged that stung, and then only for a minute.
Even at slower speeds though, there will be lots of *thwacks*.
I hope MOE brings the earplugs again because FIRST built MOE sticks into the game!
